Hey all,
I'd like to remove all versions of freetype before 2.4.3. The only dist
which is pinning freetype currently does so via
conf/distro/include/preferred-opie-versions.inc and that pins to a
non-existent version (it's using OPIE_VERSION which seems wrong). All
of the previous versions have various security issues, including
remotely exploitable ones. Only the very oldest version we have as a
D_P -1 so everyone was using 2.3.12 and will be going up to 2.4.3
(libraries are compat).
Speaking of freetype, the bytecode patent expired, so we can turn that
on and get nicer text :)
And removing older freetypes is a good idea
I'd like to point people at openwmbedded/removal.txt. This would be a
good place to schedule things for deletion. As in I added a new version
and made it active, but do not want to delete the older version for a
couple of months just in case something crops up. So leave a note in
removal.txt to look are removing a recipe on a certain date.
In general, good idea. But we've been doing things a lot quicker more
recently. And I'd like to not wait for a long time for security related
items.
